Get a Stamen Map

Get a Stamen Map

get_stamenmap() accesses a tile server for Stamen Maps and downloads/stitches map tiles/formats a map image. Note that Stamen maps don't cover the entire world.

get_stamenmap( bbox = c(left = -95.80204, bottom = 29.38048, right = -94.92313, top = 30.14344), zoom = 10, maptype = c("terrain", "terrain-background", "terrain-labels", "terrain-lines", "toner", "toner-2010", "toner-2011", "toner-background", "toner-hybrid", "toner-labels", "toner-lines", "toner-lite", "watercolor"), crop = TRUE, messaging = FALSE, urlonly = FALSE, color = c("color", "bw"), force = FALSE, where = tempdir(), https = FALSE, ... ) get_stamen_tile_download_fail_log() retry_stamen_map_download()

Arguments

  • bbox: a bounding box in the format c(lowerleftlon, lowerleftlat, upperrightlon, upperrightlat).
  • zoom: a zoom level
  • maptype: terrain, terrain-background, terrain-labels, terrain-lines, toner, toner-2010, toner-2011, toner-background, toner-hybrid, toner-labels, toner-lines, toner-lite, or watercolor.
  • crop: crop raw map tiles to specified bounding box. if FALSE, the resulting map will more than cover the bounding box specified.
  • messaging: turn messaging on/off
  • urlonly: return url only
  • color: color or black-and-white (use force = TRUE if you've already downloaded the images)
  • force: if the map is on file, should a new map be looked up?
  • where: where should the file drawer be located (without terminating "/")
  • https: if TRUE, queries an https endpoint so that web traffic between you and the tile server is ecrypted using SSL.
